Pump Up the Jams!

Yes, PUMP up the jams! Last weekend at the ABGB Austin Flea Market, I had a record breaking sales weekend, outside of the holiday season. This week, I am a jam making fool! I cannot believe that I am wiped out of stock.

Now, I would have been standing over the stove sooner, but I certainly didn’t foresee blowing out my back, which had me laid up for a few days. Still a little tender, I got to it this weekend!

I’m kicking off the fall with blackberry rosemary jam. This one is slowly becoming a silent favorite amongst regulars. It’s got the sweetness from the fruit (obviously), I leave the seeds in for a little bit of tooth and texture, the rosemary adds a touch of savory and is quite aromatic. I’ve heard folks tell me they put it on an english muffin with butter, others use it as a last minute touch on grilled pork chops, etc. I, myself, love it with brie! Whether it’s on grilled cheese or a condiment on a burger with arugula and more brie, of course.
